After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 460 An unexpected reunion

In the underground storage room of Qianlong Residence, a chubby-faced little boy was curled up in a ball, hugging his legs.

The foul-smelling swill was poured at his feet. The little boy, who was already starving and on the verge of death, sniffed it, lowered his head, and choked out a cry for his mother.

"You little brat, we've put food in your bowl and you won't eat it. Don't blame us for mistreating you!" The servant who had poured out the swill kicked the little boy and mocked him.

The man next to him nudged him: "That's enough. He's just a kid. If people find out we ate all the food we gave him, you and I will be in deep trouble."

The servant scoffed, "Why would a bastard of unknown father eat so well? Giving him some swill is already an act of kindness on our part."

The other man looked at the once fair-skinned little boy curled up in a ball and finally sighed: "Don't blame us for being heartless. Blame your shameless mother for having an affair with you and offending the Duanye family."

“My mother didn’t cheat on me,” the boy retorted weakly.

"Hey, you little brat, you dare to talk back?" The servant kicked the boy in the stomach.

The little boy cried out and was kicked into a corner, his small body curling up like a shrimp in pain.

"You bastard with an unknown father, watch how I beat you to death!" The servant stepped forward, picked up a wooden stick, and walked towards the little boy. Seeing this, the other man did not stop him, but instead stood at the entrance of the basement to keep watch for him.

Before his stick could even touch that small body, the servant died.

In his final moments, he stared at the air before him as if he had seen a ghost, then crashed heavily to the ground.

The man on lookout heard the sound and looked over in alarm, only to see a slender figure standing quietly in what was originally a dark place.

It was a girl of otherworldly beauty who reached out and picked up the boy in the corner. She fed him something, and the pain on the boy's face slowly faded. He tilted his head and fell asleep in the girl's arms.

"Who are you...who are you?! Don't touch him! Do you know who he is? If you take him away, Young Master Duanye will not let you off!" The man was already terrified by his companion's abnormality and the woman's sudden appearance. He could only shout in a show of bravado, trying to attract the attention of those outside.

Lin Zhao, holding the child, looked at him expressionlessly. She pointed at him, and the man breathed his last.

After killing the two men, Lin Zhao did not leave immediately. Instead, after sensing that this area was sealed off, he laughed and said, "Since you're waiting here, there's no need to hide anymore. Aren't you waiting for me?"

In the darkness, the sound of a third person breathing could be heard, followed by a burst of applause that drew Lin Zhao's attention.

It was a black-robed man wearing a wolf-head mask, his amber eyes fixed intently on Lin Zhao.

"Originally, the purpose was to capture Fei Xin Nu, but I didn't expect to have such a gain as you. Such a young Nascent Soul cultivator is more than qualified to take my position as Lady Duan Ye."

Lin Zhao formed a spiritual seal in her hand: "But you are not qualified to be my husband."

Young Master Duanye smiled slightly, and auras appeared behind him.

Surprisingly, each of them was a master at the Nascent Soul stage or above.

Especially the last figure that appeared made Lin Zhao freeze for a moment, then he smiled and said, "And isn't your fiancée over there?"

Ji Wulian paused, then quickly said to Young Master Duan Ye, "This subordinate has absolutely no intention of climbing the social ladder."

Young Master Duanye clapped his hands: "Take her and this bastard of unknown father..." Lin Zhao gripped the Holy Dragon Emperor's Spear, stabbing to death the Nascent Soul Grand Perfection cultivator who tried to restrain him. Then, the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword appeared beneath his feet, carrying him out of the basement at an incredible speed.

However, after she rushed out, she discovered that the entire backyard of Qianlong Residence had been sealed off by the enemy, and the whole area had been sealed off as well.

"It seems I've fallen right into your trap this time." Lin Zhao sighed, as if regretting his rescue.

"Then give that child back!" Ji Wulian approached Lin Zhao, but was knocked down by a spiritual seal from Lin Zhao.

He made two moves: once killing a Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection stage, and once severely injuring a Deity Transformation cultivator.

Now the experts around Young Master Duan Ye understood how terrifying this woman was, and dared not go forward alone anymore.

Lin Zhao retrieved the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword, transformed the Ascending Dragon Emperor Technique Spear into a sword, and charged towards Young Master Duan Ye.

There are too many experts here. I can take on ten strong opponents of my own level, but it's practically impossible for me to take on a hundred, especially with a child in my arms.

To escape safely from here, we must capture Young Master Duanye.

Catch the thief first to catch the king.

Otherwise, her wish to enter the Blue Duck Secret Realm to temporarily avoid the brunt of the attack would be wishful thinking. You must know that even if she now controls the Blue Duck Secret Realm, she can only come out of the same place she entered it.

The best solution now is to take Young Master Duanye hostage and leave this place.

However, how could the other party possibly let her succeed?
Several Nascent Soul cultivators approached her and reached out to the child in Lin Zhao's arms.

Holding the child in one arm, Lin Zhao activated the Mysterious Shadow Movement while being chased by these people. Although he was in a sorry state, he was still able to handle the situation with ease.

"You're really naughty." Young Master Duanye shook his head, and a spiritual seal appeared in his hand, which gathered into a lotus flower that emitted a faint golden light and floated towards Lin Zhao.

Even before the seemingly beautiful lotus flower got close to him, Lin Zhao sensed the sealing energy it contained. How could he allow the lotus flower to get any closer?

With a sweep of his sword, the Holy Dragon Emperor unleashed the Bodhi Slash, forcing away the several Nascent Soul cultivators who were entangled with him. Lin Zhao dodged the approach of the lotus flower, but some of its aura still clung to her.

Her breath was suddenly reduced by one-tenth.

Seeing this, Young Master Duanye pressed again, "Does the young lady still intend to protect this bastard child of unknown father?"

He fell in love with Lin Zhao at first sight. Whether it was her stunning beauty, which was not hidden even when she tried to conceal it, her talent in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage at such a young age, or her aloofness that could drive any man crazy, he would regret it for the rest of his life if he didn't get her.

Therefore, tonight, he doesn't intend to let either the child or the woman go.

Lin Zhao couldn't help but curse. Just as she was about to summon the Dragon Phoenix Heavenly Decree Sword to give these bastards a good beating, a sharp sword intent, like a cold autumn river, swept down and forced back all the Nascent Soul cultivators who had come to her.

Having finally recovered from her injuries, Ji Wulian couldn't help but grit her teeth and ask, "Who are you? Are you going to oppose the Duanye family?!"

The newcomer stood on his sword, his sword energy breaking through the barrier that they had sealed off. He wore white robes, carried a wine gourd and a cold sword, and had his black hair casually tied up. His starry eyes held a hint of lazy drunkenness, yet his sharp edge remained undeniable.

His voice was somewhat nonchalant, yet anyone could hear the danger and chill within it: "I am Lin Yi of Panlong Tower. The one you captured is my son. Tell me, should I oppose you?"
